Alkaline non-cyanide zinc plating is popular with many of our customers because of its ability to produce cosmetically acceptable deposits and to plate with excellent distribution over complex geometry. We offer alkaline zinc plating in both rack and barrel parts. With increasing environmental restrictions, alkaline non-cyanide zinc will continue to grow, replacing cyanide processes.

Applications
- Tight plating tolerances
- Parts that will be bent, crimped, rolled, or staked after plating
- Deep recess parts
- Fluid handling tubes
Advantages
- Excellent corrosion protection
- Unparalleled plating distribution from high to low current areas
- Excellent plating in low current areas
- Throws close to 1:1 LCD to HCD
- The plating uniformity provides improved SST
- Zinc crystals in the deposit are smaller and have less tensile stress
- Great ductility
Part Size Capabilities
To handle the wide variation of parts required by our customers, our barrel alkaline zinc lines are equipped with 48″ X 21″ barrels with varying barrel perforations.
